Below you can see several examples of how payment solutions can be tailored to meet your specific needs. These solutions are available to credit-approved o rganizations.
Monthly payment option
This example illustrates how you can use Microsoft Payment Solutions to spread the cost of your IT investments with equal, predictable payments over three years, versus making a substantial up-front investment—helping to align IT benefits with costs.
Ramped payment option
In some cases, an you may prefer to closely match the expense of an IT investment with the benefits realized. In this example, a company that plans a staged deployment of their EA enrollments only pays for the amount planned for each year.
Deferred payment option
With Microsoft Payment Solutions, you may defer payments for up to six months, allowing you to begin deploying and benefiting from their IT investments immediately, while paying when budget becomes available.
Custom payment option
Customized payments help you align your technology spend with the available budget, cash flow, or deployment schedule for your organization. Our Payment Solution Specialists work closely with you to understand your technology-related business needs, and provide payment solutions to match.
Add products and service
Once you establish a Payment Solutions option with Microsoft, you can include new software purchases, true-ups, or additional services in the agreement through a convenient process, subject to credit approval.
